Hi Oli, I was flying anurags UB when she flamed out. All the 3 tanks are sealed and no leaks found. I know it's proven, but I still doubt the 8mm tygon which is used all over, it seems soft since its new and I feel could collapse when the oly is at full thrust, thus drawing fuel from the accumulator momentarily. I personally still prefer the stiff PU tubing. I could be wrong of course.

Chatty.
Never seen this happening before, but it could be a factor, combined to a tight bend.
I use the large tygons in conjunction with the BF-300 in several different setups and never had a problem.
Bare in mind the the 300 requires a much higher fuel flow than the AMT.

Once again, you do not need the engine running to test the system. Just run the pump at max thrust voltage and loop the fuel line back into the jerrycan...
